Shared Purpose and Spiritual Direction

To align your spiritual lives and set a deliberate direction for your faith journey together.

Scripture

Do two walk together unless they have agreed to do so? — Amos 3:3

A relationship thrives when both partners are seeking God's kingdom first, rather than just their individual ambitions.

Preparation

Bring a Bible and a journal. Review your schedules over the past month to see where your time and energy have actually been going.

Questions

1. In what ways have you seen my faith grow over the past year?
2. What spiritual disciplines (prayer, reading, fasting, serving) do you feel drawn to right now?
3. How can we make prayer a more natural and consistent part of our rhythm?
4. Are there any media, habits, or influences we need to reduce to create more space for God?
5. What is a dream or vision God has placed on your heart that you haven't fully shared with me?
6. How do our current financial and calendar commitments reflect our spiritual priorities?
7. Who are the mentors or couples we look up to, and how can we invite more of their wisdom into our lives?
8. What does a spiritually healthy home look like to you?
9. How can I encourage you when you are experiencing spiritual dryness or doubt?
10. Where do you sense God is leading us as a couple in the next one to three years?

Next step

Choose one specific day of the week to read a chapter of Scripture together and pray for your shared future.

Prayer

Lord Jesus, be the center of our relationship. Guide our steps and align our desires with Your will. May our union be a reflection of Your love and a vessel for Your purposes. Amen.
